New in #8

August 27, 2016

Without further ado - I've been waiting to get some of products for this New in post have for a long time and I finally got them. I got a chance to buy some of the USA only makeup (thanks to Čoksa, Ana and Vlado) and I decided to get only things that are on the top of my wishlist. Yet, try try not to spend millions of dollars, you know.

After I already ordered the MUR Flawless Matte palette from Pink Panda, they put the Flawless on the sale. This was my first choice from all the MUR eyeshadow palettes and after some research on the quality and color pay off, here it is. I really like the color selection - the copper ones, burgundy, browns... and I know I will put it to the good use during this fall.

I've read some good and some not so good reviews on Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour palette and honestly, I wouldn't even get it if it wasn't on sale on Pink Panda webshop. The shades seemed too orange in the photos and more like bronzers, not so much like something you would like to contour with. In real life, they aren't that warm toned, but I am yet to try it.

Unlike the previous one, this in one of the highlighters that looked very promising on the photos, but in real life is just - meh. Glittery and when you apply it a blend a bit, it disappears into nothing.

I have to say - I've been on a hunt for this particular brush ever since Aura came to Croatia. I've been in Kozmo drugstore in Rijeka and Zagreb and couldn't find it and then, Čoksa found one in Dubrovnik (seems like they have everything there). I already tried it and it is great for applying bronzer, blush and for contour.

Both of these eyeshadows were a recommendation form Čoksa. The Velvet Matte eyeshadows are really great but discontinued so if you can still find them, grab a few shades. You will like them. Starlight Expresso is the same shade as the lighter one in a Catrice eyebrow set. I never finish the darker one so I have many of the eyebrow sets laying around with only half used darker shade. So now I don't have to buy the whole set just for one shade, but I think this mono eyeshadow is also being discontinued. Not cool, Catrice, not cool.

This in one of those setting powders everyone was raving about. Ever since Kathleen Lights mentioned it in one of hers videos, it is impossible to find it in stock. Somehow, we managed to place a pre order on Beautylish and get some. I can't wait to try it.

Colourpop highlighters, Super Shock Cheek are one of the most loved low end highlighters between american beauty bloggers. I decided to get the shade Wisp because, even though it seems to be a very dark shade in the pot, is is actually such a pretty gold shade. Some say it remides them of the Jaclyn Hill's Champagne Pop (color wise). Say no more!

Two of the Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip liquid lipsticks in the shades Lumiere 2 and Stingraye. Lumiere 2 is a shade made in the collab with Kathleen Lights and Stingraye is made in the collab with also an beauty vlogger from the channal Its My Raye Raye. Similar shades, but yet very different. Stingraye is a bit darker and warmer mauve pink with a hint of red and brown. Lumiere 2 is more of a cooler toned mauve shade.

Morphe brushes are well known makeup brushes from the low end side, although I would say they are not that inexpensive for our life standars here in Croatia. But, they really are one of the best ones out there.

M439 and E6 are foundation brushes, M441, M139 and M149 are eye brushes. I still haven't tried them or even washed them, they just sit here, you know, being all pretty and stuff.

Besides makeup brushes, Morphe is well know for their eyeshadow palettes. 35N is one of them. All shades are matte, warm toned and in huge pans. I am used to small little palettes that you can get in our drugstores or order from Pink Panda and this i quite a suprise. Also, I have no doubts about the quality.
